Let’s get back to serious things, the Dutch capital – Amsterdam, a landmark on the fun map fun of Europe, a metropolis overrun with tourists all year round. This city has something for everyone, whether you go there for old and well preserved architecture of the city or landscapes offered by numerous canals passing through the city or go for the great nightlife , or maybe you’re a fan of soft drugs tolerated by the authorities , maybe want to see one of the many famous museums or odd (like Sex Museum or Madame Tussauds) or visit the famous red light district.Be aware that in the supermarkets in the city almost all products may have various drugs in them, so I was happy to drink beer with Cannabis, tasted chocolate, candy, cookies, brownies, orbit gum, drinking RedBull all with Cannabis or variations in composition.

I was amazed when the bodyguard at the entrance of a cofeeshop refused us entry entry because we wore smoking normal cigarettes, and there was no joke, in pubs you can smoke only weed cigarettes , tobacco is totally banned in public spaces, although is a little awkward to get up from the table in the bar, you take your jacket and sit in front of the bar in the cold with other foreigners, just to go back inside after five minutes, I do not think smokers deserve to endure it.

The city itself is very nice, as I said above old architecture combined with many canals please the eye. Although full of tourists, the city is very clean , beeing constantly cleaned by the city workers and police presence in cars and many bicycles maintains the delicate balance between fun without limits and civilization.

We visited the famous red light district, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed, deviated too much from the original purpose and became a tourist attraction, so see entire families with children walking in front of semi naked gilrs and of course Chinese that take a lot of photos despite signs prohibiting photography on those streets. For the curious guys I tell you the price is EUR 50 for one shot, but do not stretch the time because after about 20 minutes they will kick you out if you don’t finish. Other interesting stuff in the red light district in Amsterdam were the theaters with shows like live porn, erotic, or “Pay, Watch and Get involved.”

But the entertainment costs here, you can easily spend 100-150 euros a night. It’s about 6 eur per gram of weed, one joint about 4-5, beer costs between EUR 5 and 10 a decent pub, a decent food 15 EUR go easily (much more if you eat at the restaurant). Entry to a club or museum between EUR 5 and 20, a taxi ride 20-30 EUR depending on distance. A subway ride is 1 Eur and something …. so take care with the budget, but it’s worth it. 🙂
